I’m beyond thrilled that my friend @JoeBiden and our first Black and Indian-American woman Vice President, @KamalaHarris, are headed to restore some dignity, competence, and heart at the White House. Our country sorely needs it.

In the actual moment, it turns out that I am just completely and totally gobsmacked that for the first time in American history the United States has elected a woman to the vice presidency. And that she’s a Democrat. And that she’s Black and of Indian American descent.

hang on, am I understanding this correctly? covid-19 is so out of control that the election in November has to be postponed, but it's also so under control that we need to be packing the nation's children back into their schools right now? yeah cool, that totally checks out
